  • I recruit some people into this band. It always amazes me how much people care about whether they are paid £100k or £110k. The difference is about than £72 a week when they're already getting paid over £1,300 a week (after tax).

    Ego.

  • The organisation has 5 freedoms as it's pillars, but it can't really take the concept of liberty to heart.

    ...and they wonder why the population flirts with the authoritarian right.

  • It's still bad.

    My old commute was a 25-30 minute drive. For a while though, I had to do it by public transport.

    I'd be walking for less than 10 minutes because both my house and my work were close to the train station. The rest of it was on 4 different trains, but all within one metropolitan area. The changes were no more than 5 minutes each, pretty good really. However, the number of stops and the number of changes killed any progress. The end result was that it took 1h45m to 2h.

    Changing a 8hr + 2x30m day into an 8hr + 2x2h day is a significant change in lifestyle. Losing 3hr day means you don't enjoy your evenings, you don't socialise, and life is only work. It's miserable.

    On a different job I worked at I could get there with just 1 train. That was about 35 minute drive or 55 minutes by train once you included the walk (again about 10-15 minutes total). Even with that you're asking yourself "Why am I not driving?".

  • You seem to underestimate how many companies and government organizations rely on American hyperscalers

    No. That's the point. Those are exactly the institutions you want to target. We want them to switch away from American companies.
